It turns out that this is the mansion of the famous Huang family of the Huang family in Lingling of Jiangxia... It is really valuable for research!
It has darkened, and Etang Town, which has been noisy for most of the day, has finally returned to calm. The female soldiers of the Taiping Army have completely taken control of the town. On the walls of the town, as well as on the gate towers of the south and north gates, there are Sentries. On Di Street built along the Xiaoshui River, a long low wall was built with rice bags taken from the Huang family's granary. Female soldiers from the Taiping Army were also stationed there.
The seven or eight mansions in Etang Town, as well as the magnificent ancestral hall of the Lingling Mausoleum of the Jiangxia Huang family, the Guandi Temple, the Confucius Temple, and a small Huanggai Temple, all became the names of the female Taiping Army soldiers. ’s stationed place.
Luo Yaoguo himself and Su Sanniang lived in Huang Shijie's mansion together!
At this moment, he was being led by a maid who had been "snatched" home by Mr. Huang, wandering around the magnificent mansion, surrounded by four female guards armed with swords, pistols and lanterns.
The Huang family's mansion is a typical "Hunan wealthy residence". It is definitely not luxurious, nor is it particularly big, but it is definitely solid! The house is surrounded by tall courtyard walls with many shooting holes on the walls. The courtyard is surrounded by four walls. It is square, with a stone watchtower on each of the four corners, as high as three or four stories, with excellent sight lines.
Inside the house, in addition to the daily living, studying, and living areas, there are also a grain warehouse, a money warehouse, a silk warehouse, an equipment warehouse, a gunpowder warehouse, a cigarette warehouse, and even a dungeon! It is filled with all kinds of scary things. Instruments of torture...
If Mr. Huang hadn't opened a porridge factory with a "kind heart" on Di Street, which attracted too many poor people, and the internal situation was about to explode, he might have been able to rely on Etang Town and his Huang family mansion to hold on to the previous period. time.
After "doing some ancient research" in the mansion, Luo Yaoguo returned to the dining hall of the Huang family mansion. An extra-large Eight Immortals table had been set up there. There were also several cold dishes, two pots of old wine and some bowls on the table. Chopsticks and cups.
There is a smaller table next to this Eight Immortals table, which is piled with account books, boxes of land deeds, IOUs, silver notes and gold and silver jewelry.
Su Sanniang was sitting at the small table. When she saw Luo Yaoguo coming, she quickly stood up and knelt down to salute.
"Get up, sit down." Luo Yaoguo looked very excited. While asking Su Sanniang to get up and sit down, he also pulled up a chair and sat down. Then he looked at Su Sanniang with a smile, "How is it? How many good things did you copy in total?"
"Reply to the angel, the calculation has been done." Su Sanniang said, "My subordinates led the people to do the calculation in person. This time we took out a total of more than 25,300 taels of cash from the Huang family's house. Eight More than ten baskets of copper coins, more than 2,000 bolts of silk and cotton, more than 200 boxes of cigarettes... all of them are high-quality East India Company cigarettes!"
"Humph, he is indeed a drug lord!" Luo Yaoguo gritted his teeth.
Su Sanniang added: "There are also thousands of IOUs, a box full of land deeds, and a box of cash-on-demand banknotes from the Thirteenth Bank of Guangzhou, totaling 13,800 taels!
In addition, we also found 30 self-fired foreign guns in the Huang family's arsenal. Each foreign gun also came with a pound of foreign black powder, a bag of lead... none of them were fired.
It’s over-sealed and the gun oil hasn’t even been wiped off, so it must have just been bought!”
"Haha," Luo Yaoguo smiled, "This guy surnamed Huang seems to know that something is wrong and has already bought a foreign gun from Guangzhou! If we come here a little later, I'm afraid it won't be easy to hit Goose Pond!"
Su Sanniang smiled and said: "These foreign guns are indeed good things. If they can be matched with our hundred-rout ammunition, they will be really powerful!"
"Can that be used?" Luo Yaoguo asked, "Can the white rifle ammunition we have on hand be modified? Isn't the lead softer? Can it be chipped? There are also blacksmiths in Etang Town, right? Can they do this?
Work?"
"I don't know much about blacksmithing," Su Sanniang said with a smile, "but those who are particularly active today are local people from Etang. I will ask them about it later. In addition, there are several teahouses on Di Street.
They are all members of the Tiandihui, do you want to contact us?"
"A member of the Tiandihui? Then let's get in touch first." Luo Yaoguo nodded and asked, "Where are the female relatives of Huang Shijie and his brothers? How many were arrested in total? How many died?"
The reason why Luo Yaoguo asked this question was because according to historical records, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conquered many big cities, a large number of women from the scholar-bureaucrat class who were poisoned by the Neo-Confucianism of the Qing Dynasty committed suicide...
"A total of twenty-eight were arrested, six of whom were Huang Shijie's wives, twelve were the wives of Huang Shijie's brothers, and the rest were all daughters of the Huang family." Su Sanniang said, "No one died when they were arrested.
, but that old thief Huang’s wife is still on a hunger strike right now.”
"Hunger strike?" Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "It seems that Huang Shijie's wife is quite loyal... let them go later!"
"Let go?" Su Sanniang was stunned.
"Yes!" Luo Yaoguo nodded, "Let them go...let them find Huang Shijie! Those of the Huang family's servants who are willing to follow are also allowed to go! Let them use the slide pole to lift the Huang family's feet.
The woman went to tell the man surnamed Huang that there is only a group of female Taiping soldiers in Etang Town! This man surnamed Huang is not an ordinary person, maybe he is a scholar leader who can speak in the government office of the state."
"Yes!" Su Sanniang immediately understood what Luo Yaoguo meant.
Huang Shijie, with such a huge net worth, must have connections, and he must be eager to regain his family fortune after losing it... If he goes to work with Admiral Yu Wanqing and Daozhou Zhizhou Wang Kuiyi, he is not afraid that those two people will not
Take the bait.
Luo Yaoguo then said to one of his female guards, "Cuihua, go and call those people from Etang Town."
"yes!"
The female guard agreed, turned around and left the dining hall. After a while, she walked in with eleven men and one woman. Among them were Wang Huoxiu, Wang Xier, and Xiao Zhang Bao who were particularly active today. The other nine people also
They are all hard-working men in Etang Town, and they were all very active when they stormed the Huang family's mansion today - today's battle against the Huang family's mansion was not only a matter of receiving a certificate of admission, but also an inspection.
Through this investigation, Luo Yaoguo will be able to know who has the most rebellious spirit in Etang Town? And Mr. Huang, who has run away, should also know who is the most "bad" person in Etang Town?
And if these people can withstand the test of the wealth and beauties in the Huang family's mansion, they have great hope of becoming the backbone of the Kingdom of Heaven... and they are also the disciples and confidants of Luo Yaoguo who personally introduced the Kingdom of Heaven's team!
"Kowtow to the angel, little one!"
"The little one kowtows to the angel!"
"Angel Chitose Chitose..."
Twelve "new rebel kings" were already kneeling before Luo Yaoguo.
Luo Yaoguo looked at them one by one. Sure enough, they all had rebellious figures. They were all skinny and malnourished...especially Xiao Zhang Bao and Xiao Xi'er, who were both growing up and were hungry. The bones support a head, which is quite big and looks quite smart.
"Are you all willing to join me in rebellion?" Luo Yaoguo asked kindly.
"willing!"
"We do!"
"We can't survive anymore and are willing to rebel!"
"..."
Sure enough, they are all innate rebels! When it comes to rebellion, everyone is in high spirits!
Luo Yaoguo smiled and nodded: "Very good, everyone is willing to rebel... Then do you know whose rebellion you are creating now?"
"We created the Qing Dynasty, no, we are the rebels of the Qing Dynasty!"
"And Mr. Huang...the thief's rebellion!"
"And the rebellion of those dirty officials who eat people without spitting out their bones!"
"Also...there is also this disgusting reaction that makes people unable to live!"
"..."
Everything you said is good, everyone knows who the enemy is!
Luo Yaoguo asked again: "Then who are you rebelling for? And how are you going to rebel? Will our rebellion... be sure to succeed? What is the reason? What can you do for our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now? You Do you all know?"
A series of questions really confused these twelve new rebel kings.
Where can they answer it?
They have never studied history, nor have they studied Ma Zhe, and they can't even read a few characters. How can they know so much?
Seeing that the twelve people below were all blinded, Luo Yaoguo laughed - this was the effect he wanted!
He paused and then said: "You don't know, do you? It doesn't matter if you don't know, because I know! I... know how to rebel best! Are you twelve people willing to follow my example and learn how to rebel?"
Learn to rebel...this knowledge is amazing!
"willing!"
"Your Highness Angel! Please accept me as a disciple!"
"My disciple is willing to learn from his master..."
These twelve novice rebels were of course willing to learn as soon as they heard that someone was guiding them.
Chapter completed!
